Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the carrots and celery into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, add a little oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 3

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the chopped potatoes to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Stir in the salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

  3. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Remove the bay leaf, then use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only half of the soup.

  4. 5

    Add Cream

    Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup cook for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the creamy potato soup into bowls and garnish with chives and bacon bits before serving.
